Sun in Evolutionary Astrology: Meaning, Shadow and Medicine
The Sun: from performing to radiating.
I made this one for all of you carrying the Sun, which is everyone, since it lives somewhere in every chart. What most are taught is your Sun sign, the personality you lead with. What I love about the Sun is that it leads the soul intention that Pluto and the Nodes represent, and that everybody has charisma in their own way. The Sun rules Leo, so this one's the partner to the Leo post.

Sun, in words
What it feels like: Life force.
The third chakra is the Sun: the will, the personal will, the solar plexus zone.
It's a power source. It's what lights you up. It's like a drive, part of the gas in the engine.
It gives life force energy to everything, and that's what the Sun is in us also. It is always on. In a way, it's your happy place.
What most are taught: Your Sun sign.
What most are taught about the Sun is your sign, the personality you lead with. All of that is in there.
Go deeper and the Sun leads the soul intention that Pluto and the Nodes represent. Your Sun is how you're going to actualize the purpose.
I look at it like the rocket fuel. The rocket is like our soul, and where it's going we can see in Pluto and the North and South Node. The Sun fires it up.
The overflow: Radiating.
The Sun is your charisma. We all have a Sun; we all have charisma. The Sun is our radiance.
We all shine in a certain way when someone walks into the room. Even the person at the grocery store who just said something nice leaves an impression.
As you evolve your Sun, think of the Sun entering the room, and people feel it.
The overwhelm: Performing.
Your Sun sign comes with really developed skills, and that is the very place where the shadow of that sign ends up being so prominent.
If we are attached to our past, to patterns of Pluto and the South Node, that's going to show up in our Sun.
We strengthen our capacity through challenge. It's through that very challenge that you get better and better.
How it ripens: Once a year.
The Sun is always moving through the entire zodiac in one year. Once a year, the Sun is going to make contact with all the planets, all the lessons that get activated in our psyche.
Each month it activates a house of your chart, so you got that period of time to work on that quality.
When the Sun activates your North Node: the future is coming. Make a move.
The highest
We come from source, like the Sun is the source of our solar system. We come as little mini sources and forces of power.
When you tap into the highest frequency of what's possible there, that is where your Sun is leading you, directly toward your highest destiny.
Do your Sun, and do it well. We are like stars; that's how I tend to see us all.
